What is the name of your state?TEXAS

I am 34 years old and have never even recieved a ticket. I have a clean record and have spent the past 4 years in the reserves doing very well. I however went to work in a retail store and after a few months stole several items and sold them. I have never done anything like this before and I had intended to return the money for the items and confessed to the owner. He was gracious enough to come over to my house and collect the items I had remaining. We talked for a while and he said we could work some sort of payment out. He was a friend and doing this really hurt him. I voluntarily went to see the detective the next day with him and now he is pressing charges. I voluntarily wrote a statement and now I am very afraid and not sure what can happen? Will this get me thrown out of the military? If I get probation can I still go to Iraq, I feel as though I need to do something honorable to make up for this. If I am convicted and sentenced to jail, can I get a job afterwards? Will this follow me on record for the rest of my life? :( Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Ever notice that when thieves come on here trying to get out of what they have done, they always say I have a clean record, not even a speeding ticket. Smooth move exlax....you blew that one right into the toilet! :rolleyes:

My response:

You could always do what the Japanese do when they shame their family and society.

Hahaha, that's a good one. I am reminded of those old Samurai movies I used to watch with those funky sub-titles.
